EVIDENCE AND DATA FOR GENDER EQUALITY (EDGE)

BACKGROUND

The Evidence and Data for Gender Equality (EDGE) project is a joint initiative of the United Nations Statistics Division and UN Women that seeks to improve the integration of gender issues into the regular production of official statistics for better, evidence-based policies.

EDGE is guided by a Steering Committee composed of members of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Gender Statistics (IAEG-GS) and is funded by Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, the Republic of Korea and the United States.
